“The Incomparable Yosemite.

Egg production for our hens has come to a screechi Egg production for our hens has come to a screeching halt lately with the exception of this white leghorn, who continues to faithfully lay one white egg each day! I don't blame them at all, these girls have endured quite the winter so far.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This white leghorn is the newest addition to our flock, and she actually showed up randomly in the fall and would hang out near the run during the day and disappear towards the evening. This went on for a couple of weeks, and then one day she wandered in when I had the door open and I couldn't get her out. So in she stayed!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One egg a day is not quite enough to keep up with the baking and cooking for us, so I did have to buy eggs at the store the other week. Talk about sticker shock! I'm curious what prices everyone has been paying for eggs these days.

My favorite was the homemade peach and blackberry galette, topped with raw honey from our own bee hives! 🍯 The peaches were some of the best ones we’ve had all summer, and there almost weren’t enough left to make the galette because they were being eaten as fast as I could cut them up!
